History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 44
44fury. Third random draw (1)
Ding dong.
[New skill options have been opened.]
[Design skill-only option ③: Simulation mode - Topographic data obtained through surveying skills can be manipulated in a virtual design space. This allows you to observe various physical changes that occur within the terrain..]
‘uh?’
Lloyd blinked..
I could see the sweat droplets rolling down my forehead and getting into my eyes.?
It wasn't.
A message appears before my eyes.
That's why I couldn't quite believe it..
‘omg. what is this.’
Opening options for design skills.
Even that option was the simulation I had been longing for..
It was an unexpected and unexpected result..
But Lloyd didn't just lose his mind..
Already from surveying, planning, and even the shabby practice techniques,.
He had truly experienced the power of skill options through the growth of various skills..
It was the same this time too.
‘Seeing is worth hearing.’
I need to read the manual a hundred days later.
I have to watch the tutorial all day long.
It was better to play a real game while swearing..
Lloyd immediately activated his design skills..
‘design.’
Tsutsutsutsu……!
A virtual holographic space unfolded before my eyes..
It was a virtual design space visible only to Lloyd and never visible to others around him..
Lloyd brought the survey data from the Marez Marsh there..
Tsuzuzu!
The topography of Marez Wetland emerged in the virtual design space..
Up to this point, it was the same as the surveying and design process that I had done countless times..
But there was only one thing that changed..
It was a selection window that appeared below the virtual space..
[Simulation mode On]
‘This is it.’
Just by looking at it, I could tell what the selection window was doing..
Lloyd clicked the selection button..
[Design skill option ③: Run simulation mode]
[Specifies terrain data loaded into the current design space as the simulation target..]
Tspat!
The virtual design space background has become brighter..
Numerous dots and lines appeared on the topography of Marez Wetland floated in the design space..
It was like looking at a graphic made up of polygons and split apart..
‘So the operation method is similar?.’
I wondered if something might happen..
Lloyd stretched out his hand..
I used my finger to pick the line that formed a certain mound. pulled up.
coo goo goo……!
The terrain rose as much as I pulled it with my finger..
In other words, a hill was created on one side of the Marez Marsh in the virtual design space..
It was clearly visible that the damp mud and water flowing down into the surrounding lowlands..
‘Oh oh.’
I felt like I was a god.
Or, it felt like I was using the terrain manipulation editor that comes with a simulation game..
‘Awesome, this.’
I suddenly swallowed my saliva..
He was a civil engineering student..
And civil engineering isn't just about building buildings..
‘No, building buildings is what architectural engineers do. Civil engineering doesn't stop at one building. It's much bigger than that.’
In which famous movie was there a line like this?.
The wind is not something to calculate, but something to overcome..
Lloyd thought civil engineering had a similar approach to terrain..
‘Well, I guess it's not completely similar. The terrain is calculated and overcome at the same time..’
In other words, civil engineering could be said to be the planning and processing of numerous terrains to enrich human life and livelihood..
Dig a tunnel through a hole in the mountain.
Build a port by improving the rugged coastline.
Calculating and overcoming numerous terrains and connecting roads and railways.
Design water and sewage systems, fill the land, and sometimes build them..
Building a bridge over a steep cliff, connecting human lives.
Since ancient times, human civilization has blossomed..
Lloyd believed that civil engineering would be the discipline that had the greatest influence on human life..
Therefore, in order to carry out work on such a scale, careful calculations and experiments on the terrain were absolutely essential..
‘But I got that weapon, I.’
My fists clenched and my strength increased..
It was from then on..
Lloyd immediately dismantled the miniature he had installed in his backyard..
I took a bath and shook off the mud from my body..
I locked myself in my bedroom for five days..
Throughout that time, numerous embankments and channels were dug, erased, and rebuilt in the Marez wetlands in simulation mode..
We ran as many simulations as possible.
A wetland development plan was meticulously established and inspected..
Thanks to this, we were able to refine the construction model that was initially successful using analog methods in the backyard to a much more refined level..
Of course, during this time, Javiel had to take care of Lloyd..
“Lloyd, it's time for lunch..”
“uh. leave it there.”
“I think it would be best to eat it now..”
“Umm, are you busy right now? Talk to me or not?”
“But you haven't eaten the breakfast I gave you earlier, right?.”
“Oh my. Are you nagging me now??”
“I am saying this out of concern..”
“worry? you? me?”
“yes.”
“Nonsense. You care about me? hey. Who are you. Where did you keep our Javiel??”
“…….”
“Just kidding. Can't you see I'm concentrating?”
“yes.”
“You can’t see my serious expression or eyes.?”
“I can't see it. but-”
Javiel sighed deeply..
“I would like to tell you that all I can clearly see is the eccentric behavior of a crazy, rich person who spends all day waving his hands in the empty air..”
“Ah, seeing him chewing subtly like that again, it must be our Javiel. But what should I do? I'm not crazy.”
Lloyd responded calmly, still waving his hands in the air..
Actually, I fully understood what Javiel said..
‘The virtual space created with design skills is visible only to me..’
In fact, even now, he was carefully manipulating the terrain of Marez Wetland in simulation mode. He was experimenting with ways to apply the vertical drainage method..
But Javiel won't be able to see it..
All that was visible was a strange figure flailing in the air and gesturing with its hands..
“I'm just thinking of something. There is a saying like that, right? All the nerves of the entire body are concentrated in a person's hands..”
“So?”
“Should I say that if you move your hands actively like this, the nerves are stimulated and your brain activity becomes more active? Anyway, I really need to concentrate.?”
“But Lloyd. You should not skip meals.”
“Oh really. not my mom.”
“If you keep doing this, I will tell the Baroness that Mr. Lloyd is continuing to stop eating and drinking..”
“……Tsk, that won’t work..”
“yes?”
“I won't do it because it's too noisy. This is a man who lives the right life. okay. Then, would you like to sit here in the armchair??”
“What are you trying to do??”
“If you sit quietly, I'll eat your lunch..”
“Are you sure??”
“Was this person just deceived?.”
“……All right.”
Javiel sat in the armchair..
A sinister smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..
“Yeah, that's nice. Then take a break for a moment. The Pack Drain (PD) method is similar in principle to the sand drain or paper drain method… … Chatter chatter… … After pressing 4 or 6 casings with a diameter of 12cm attached to a dedicated pouring machine into the ground at the same time… … Jojal jojal… … The installation depth can be up to 35m and the installation diameter is 12cm, making construction easy… … Blah blah…….”
“uh? what…….”
Slurp.
It was a surprise lullaby service..
He read it aloud diligently, recalling the contents of his major book..
Javiel's expression seemed to be blank and his eyes became drowsy..
As I began to doze off, my body leaned over..
Lloyd gently extended his hand..
I gently supported the leaning body of the guy and pushed him towards the back of the armchair..
The destructive lullaby service continued until I fell asleep..
“Plastic board drains, or PBDs, can be broadly divided into two types. The first is a non-woven drainage material, which is made by forming a needle-punched non-woven fabric plate with a thickness of about 5 mm into a width of about 100 mm... … That's right. Go to sleep, byung..”
“……cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.”
Before I knew it, Haviel had fallen into a deep sleep..
Lloyd, who had organized the environment like that, was able to continue to focus on simulation mode..
One, two, three days passed.
Javiel's nagging and lullaby service went back and forth every day..
Meanwhile, plans to reclaim the Marez wetland were steadily being developed..
“it's okay.”
the fifth day.
Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..
Now it was time to form a work team and heavy equipment suitable for the construction plan..
♣
“Podong? Oh, bell?”
“Podong!”
“Bell!”
It was a moonlit night.
Lloyd was out in the backyard of the mansion..
Of course, Javiel was left to sleep soundly..
“From now on, I'd like to invite some of your new friends..”
“Podong?”
“Bell?”
“I think it would be better if you all watched it together..”
Lloyd grinned..
Tonight, he was planning to pull out a new phantom species..
It was for the Marez wetland reclamation construction that will begin from now on..
“If possible, it would be nice to see fantasy species related to water. But, well, it doesn’t really matter even if it doesn’t. Just need someone as big as you to come out..”
Marez Wetland Reclamation.
Lloyd planned to use the vertical drainage method for the construction..
Vertical drainage method.
Basically, it could be said to be a method of strengthening the soft ground by drilling numerous vertical holes in the bottom of the wetland and adding drainage material..
‘Survey results showed that the Marez wetland was similar to Dutch land before land reclamation was attempted..’
Lowlands where mud and muddy water have stagnated for a long time.
The thick peat layer was full of water..
It was a terrain that was soft and easily collapsed..
However, when the water is successfully drained,?
‘It actually makes things easier.’
Due to the nature of the peat layer, when moisture is lost, it compresses downward due to its own load, that is, its weight..
It was a phenomenon called consolidation..
‘So getting the water out is the most important thing. But I don't have the equipment used for the vertical drainage method. There isn't even a pump to drain the water..’
Of course, it can be replaced similarly..
All you have to do is have Javiel blast a hole in the ground..
Water from wetlands can be pumped out by phantom species..
That's why Lloyd was now trying to select additional phantom species..
“Podong? Oh, bell?”
“Podong!”
“Bell!”
“I hope the new kids are as good at scooping up water as you are..”
Lloyd said with sincerity..
Ppodongi and Baulgi were excellent at scooping up water..
Podongi boasts large capacity cheek pouches on both sides..
The size of the stomach is quite plump and puffy..
I was able to carry as much water as a decent water tank..
Basically, it was thanks to eating red sunflower seeds that he could grow to a huge size..
‘So, other phantom species will be similar. Just four or five more phantom species the size of Podong or Baeulgi would be enough..’
Each phantom species has its own special skills and abilities..
And most of them also have a large size when transformed..
Lloyd planned to take full advantage of his size..
‘It doesn't matter what the special ability is. Of course, it would be icing on the cake if you had water-related abilities, but I don't even hope for that kind of luck. First of all, be a big guy! When transformed, it is very large and can move a lot of water with its mouth or body.!’
The purpose was to select.
‘Actually, I've been very lucky so far..’
Podongi and Bells.
Both were guys who provided the most appropriate abilities at the moment of need..
However, it would be better not to expect such luck this time too..
After adjusting his mindset, Lloyd opened the random drawing window..
Ding dong.
[Phantom species random draw]
[You can select fantastic species by investing RP.]
[Powerful and unique fantasy species will be absolutely loyal to the owner who summoned them and provide a variety of abilities..]
[Random draw cost (3rd time) = 100 RP]
‘Hmm.’
The cost had increased by about 1.5 times compared to the second time when the bells were picked..
‘But it's okay. Because I've been saving up RP for a while..’
Lloyd checked the RP he had..
As many as 931 people gathered together..
It was the result of obtaining an additional 20 points while recently going on a picnic in the swamp with the Baron..
‘RP is enough.’
In the meantime, every time I got RP, I had the urge to buy it on impulse, thinking I would spend it all at once..
Each time, he saved the RP, thinking it was his ultimate weapon..
I thought it was really good to do that..
‘The goal is to add four phantom species that are about the size of Podong or Baeulgi and have the ability to carry water..’
If the drawing cost increases by about 1.5 times each time,?
It seemed possible if you had a total of about 800 RP..
‘Let's do it.’
Lloyd's eyes turned downward after making a decision..
[Would you like to run a random draw??]
[YES/NO]
I chose ‘YES’ without hesitation.
[We run a random drawing of phantom species..]
Paaaat……!
A magic circle was created in the air..
Pale light dyed everywhere.
The space trembled and brought out an unfamiliar silhouette..
The first thing I saw was a round body..
The head seen behind him is also round.
The gungdidi is round too.
The legs are round too.
The overall silhouette was round like a ball..
‘I'm sure it's not the same type as Podong.?’
Lloyd focused all his attention on his eyesight and looked at the newly emerging phantom species..
And finally, with a stinging shock wave, the third phantom species revealed itself..
Pachichik!
“Hamang!”
Something shouted cutely.
It flew towards my arms and was caught in my arms..
Lloyd accepted the new phantom species with both hands..
I felt a plump and soft texture in my palm..
As soon as I felt the touch, I checked his appearance..
Soon his eyes widened..
I muttered unconsciously..
“……No way, why is a hippopotamus drinking water here??”
“Hamang!”
On his palm, a small, chubby pink baby hippopotamus, 'Hamangi', looked up at him and smiled brightly..
